The distinction that matters

A mention.
A source link.

We record names and source links separately.

01

Named in the answer

The answer names the practice. It may not link to your website.

02

Linked as a source

The answer links to a practice page. We retain the exact URL and a capture.

How we make it repeatable

Same questions.
Recorded conditions.

Same questions. Dated evidence. Unavailable checks stay unavailable.

Read the observation protocol

Ask the same 12 questions monthly on ChatGPT with search, Perplexity and the agreed Google AI surface, where available: at most 36 initial observations.

Keep prompt, date/time, platform/mode, visible model, session and location settings, search availability, answer status, exact source URLs, capture, reviewer and limitations together. Never include private client details.

Statuses: not run; unavailable; no AI answer; no practice mention; mention without a link; practice source linked. Unavailable is not zero. Record any changed question or surface as a break in comparison.

Retain evidence for every claimed citation. Do not seed a practice name into an unbranded question to manufacture visibility. Accurate content supports eligibility; inclusion is not guaranteed. [8]
